Updates on the update and an update

So the NPC Wardrobe vote is over and we have a tie again. I decided to go with Dr. Marlowe first but Billy will get his pictures the next time.
A small update is out now, bringing the new pictures and some small changes:

- Helen and Dr. Marlowe have their new pictures in the game now, 2 each
- Fixed a bug where choosing ebony skin at character generation would cause the avatar to display i...

Another double warderobe poll

As with the previous one: the two winners will each get two new pictures in-game. Choose wisely!

Poll results and poll announcments...

I am really busy with working on the next update so I have been a bit lax with my annoncments. Sorry everyone!

The voting for the new content has ended and prostitution won by a large margin. So get those whoring and pimping skills ready boys and girls and everyone else!
A new NPC wardrobe vote will go live shortly after this post and it will once again give two NPC's extra pictures in-game. ...

The kinky jobs of Hornsville

This is the vote for the next big content update, scheduled for 09. 19. Find the details in the post below this one

Gamification is the name of the...well game

So hello everyone! This is a post about the next big content update.
It should arrive on the 19th of September

The first part of the update will contain - you guessed - gamification. It will introduce a couple of new features, some of which have been prepared by the last update.
It will also introduce the main quest of the game. Yes, there is one!

- The main questline is introduced ...

A hairy situation...

Hey everyone! The new update is out and with it the hairstyles. You can now see them all on the avatar!
Just FYI this means that now a total  of 4.218.750 can be created. :)

A few small bugs got fixed as well and a big one among them: Lily's three Mall events werent't accesable before. Sorry! They should work fine now.

Info about the next big update and the vote for the contents sh...

Ooopsies

So Patreon had a bit of a meltdown yesterday which prevented me from sending out codes. Sorry everyone!
You should all have them now, if not, contact me again!

I was also unable to answer some messages and comments. I'm guessing it's for the same reason. I will try to answer them here and now:

- The new avatar still has some hiccups, mostly with options not showing up correctly in the ...

The double wardrobe vote

So here it is again, the NPC wardrobe vote. Remeber, this time both the first and the second most popular NPC will get two new pictures in the game.

Choose wisely!

Things and also stuff

Okay there are some small things that sort of got swept under the rug in the wake of the update. And then there are some things about the update as well.

1.: Another small bugfix went live earlier today. Amond other things it should fix the "disappearing penis" problem for the avatar.
2.: The NPC wardrobe vote for the last week was forgotten. My bad. This will mean that the first two choices ...

QuickFix

So you know how it is...new update, new bugs. Some got squished today though:

- Fixed a bug where standard and stylish female clothing was unobtainable
-Fixed a bug whereyou could run into a dead end when getting caught having sex with Dave in the park
- Fixed a bug where time didn't advance when having fun with Emma at the club
- Fixed a bug where you got some weird error messages at M...

Let's go to the mall...TODAY!

Hello everyone!

The new content update just went live! It's another big one with 240k characters/ 48 000 words worth of content, plenty of new images and the avatar update! Patrons of $5 level and higher should start receiving their codes to access the new content shortly. Please patient as there are a lot of you awesome people and it might take me a few hours to get to the end of the list!

The way forward

So as I said in the last post this is an important poll.
With our $1000 goal reached I will have some opportunities to hire some people to do upgrading/optimizing work for me, things that I am not able to do on my own.

The best way to make Hornsville a better game engine-wise would be to convert its current format to an actual executable. This would mean creating a proper, downloadable game v...

One thousand exciting things!

So, plenty of things have happened since the last post.

First and most important: we have reached our $1000 goal! This is amazing! I want to once again thank all the generous people who made this possible. This will also mean that from now on I will consider Hornsville my main work project and updating and developing it will take precedence over anything else.
Apart from the word and image co...

NPC warderobe vol. 4

You know the drill! Who shall recieve those delicios extra pictures next week?

Work, work...

So I am back and already hard at work with the new update but there are also things that need to be adressed.

- The second winner of the NPC warderobe vote (Vladimir) got his two new pictures added to the game along with two small bugfixes.

- I have also disabled the codes for people who have pledged but removed their pledge before paying. It should be foolproof but if you have pledged, p...

A second chance

The third one to recieve his or her picture is going to be one of the runner ups to the previous voting sessions. Choose wisely! :)

From afar

Hello!

First of all: thanks everyone once again for supporting me! We are getting very close to the $1000 mark. I feels awesome to have such support for the game!

I haven't been very attentive these last few days due to my previously arranged vacation but hopefully everyone recieved their codes in order. Sorry if you had to wait for a bit! I will be back at my usual computer next week so t...

Handsome men

This is the next NPC warderobe vote and this time it's all about the guys. The one you choose will get two extra pictures, a "sexy" outfit and an "action" picture.

So who will it be?

Small update and infos

The game got a small update today.

There is now an "iOS version" which is a bit of an exaggaration as it's basicly just a HTML only download....BUT it should work better in Safari now and the online version as well. There are still some issues with responsivity, I will continue to work on them. Some other bugs got fixed as well, like Emma not rewarding you at certain points of her storyline.

A forum? Shhh! It's a secret!

So since there are many of us now, I have put together a patron only forum with some help from a friend.
If you guys have bugs to report, questions to ask or just want to hang out with other "Hornsville residents" give it a go!

The super secret hidden forum URL is http://hornsville.com/forum/

Important! When you regist...

Update no. 2 part 2 what will it be?

So this is the actual poll. To get a more detailed description of your choices just check out the long post below!

It's that time again...

So I know this is what everyone has been waiting for - the content vote for the next update. However there are some announcements to make as well:
- Firstly the bugfixes for the new update went live for the downloadable version, the two should be both at 0.42 now.
- Secondly Emma easily won the first "NPC wardrobe" vote just like she did the "dominant female" vote last month. Her new picture...

Reach for the sky!

Okay, so this is going to be a quick update post about things to come.

First of all I posted my $1000 goal. I can't believe we are already so close to it. Thank you all!

I got asked about higher level pledges. They are coming with exciting new stuff - but only in August. I want to actually have extra things to give you guys before I take your money.

Voting for the first NPC with extr...

Ladies first!

Time to choose the first NPC who get's her extra two pictures. Who shall it be? 

Let's talk goals!

So with the rush after the update we have reached our $250 goal and are getting pretty damn close to the $500 one. Which is obviously awesome. Time to tell you some things about them!

$250 - the avatar update
This will go live with the next big update in August. Currently the dynamic player avatar we have is only so dynamic but this will take it a step further along the right...

Codes and goals and updates, oh my...

The last day was kind of overwhelming and I made some mistakes. Sorry for the inconvenience everyone!

Important stuff:

- If you received an invalid code that ends with a 'z' change that 'z' to a 'p' and it should work. Don't do this if your code ends in any other character especially if it works.

- I am trying my best to get a code out for every new pledge but patreon's message syste...

It’s here, it’s here!

So today we have our first major update to Hard Times in Hornsville as promised. And it’s HUGE! I got a bit carried away with the club and it shows. This update basically doubles the available content in the game (Character count went from 350k to 718k).

Patrons of the $5 level should start receiving their codes shortly which will allow them to access the content. You will need to enter the co...

Where did you come from, where did you go...

What's this? Another poll?

Sadly this one is probably less exciting for you than it is for me. I am trying to spread the word about the game and it would help greatly if you guys could tell me where you found it.

I will leave it up, so you can all answer at your leisure. Thanks a lot!

Submissive results

The last two content related polls for this month's update were finished this week, so I thought I would make a post to show of the results. Thankfully we had no draws this time but a clear victor with both.

First up is Ivette who narrowly beat Ayumi for the title.

It was a bit more clear with the males, Theo ...

An update is coming...

Hello everyone!
Sorry I didn't post this earlier but I have been quite busy preparing the next update for the game.
Remember it is coming on the 15th of July and will be available for patrons of the 5$ tier immediately! The others will have to wait for another month I'm afraid.

This one is going to be pretty big, almost doubling the erotic content the game has available. The first part -...
